Short, slightly tongue-twisting exclamations celebrate movement across the animal kingdom in this exuberant rhyming board book. “Race, rabbit, race!/ Chase, cheetah, chase!” writes Florian as a pink bunny skips away from a green-eyed cheetah; they look more like they’re playing tag than in predator-and-prey pursuit. (Later, though, two fish look a bit glum, caught in the talons of some soaring gulls). But the overall mood is one of gleeful fun, and the animals’ destination is revealed in the closing scene of a baby napping in a hammock. How he can sleep amid all the activity is anyone’s guess.
